We have moved to the soon to be announced kdevelop platform,=20 meaning that we will have the same plugin interfaces as kdevelop and=20 will share some plugin code as well (and the main shell code).=20 Yesterday I just committed a part of the project manager plugin. Also we started a new state machine based parser and we hope to have a=20 better (more accurate) and easier to understand and maintain parser.=20 Unfortunately as good as it is the current now it has some strange=20 errors and it is hard to debug. If you check the bugs.kde.org, the=20 reports from the past months can be reduced to the same thing: crashing=20 while typing. :( I know the bug is in the parser code, I spent a lot of=20 time debugging it, but as it is random, I just had wild guesses where=20 is the problem, and it seems I still couldn't fix them all. New features are not yet planned, the first goal is to have a working=20 4.0 release with at least the old features. Of course due to the plugin=20 sharing, we most probably have extra plugins not present in Quanta3,=20 like integrated Subversion (and Perforce, CVS, etc.) support, find and=20 replace (not only using KFileReplace), access to other type of=20 documentation and so on. But due tot he delay in KDevelop code (and also in porting Quanta), and=20 the "rush" to get KDE 4.0 out, we most probably will not follow the KDE=20 release schedule, at least at the beginning.
